Congrats Ryan!

I know you might not be able to talk about it much, but the article states "re-introduce a CloudFlare VPN service later in 2015" but I'm wondering, "Why late 2015?"

It was supposed to say "in 2015".

1) There are a bunch of other more-interesting and more-critical projects coming up. There is cool stuff still to be done in the VPN space, but the basics are out there now.

2) CloudFlare is already a huge network; it only makes sense to do something like a VPN if/when we can do it really well.

I'm sure that together you'll do VPN really well.

Now you have me looking forward to the CloudFlare blog post where they describe the custom/customized hardware they've put together for the VPN nodes. That will be some interesting reading...

I read it as "later, in 2015" opposed to "in late 2015". Meaning, not now, but in the future -- sometime in 2015 possibly.
